With all the hype surrounding Apple's
impending
launch of new iPods, it's sometimes easy to forget about some of
the the key players in the MP3 player market. One of the big names we
haven't heard from in a while is SanDisk, and they're debuting the
new Sansa
Fuze+ today.

The Sansa Fuze+ is the successor to the
older Sansa Fuze and features a completely redesigned body. The
player incorporates a 2.4" QVGA LCD; a "film strip"
GUI which makes allows quick navigation through photos, music, and
video with left/right finger swipes; and FM radio support.

Other features include a microSDHC card
slot for expanded storage capacity (SanDisk slotRadio
is supported) and a microphone for audio recording. The Sansa Fuze+
can operate for 24 hours straight while playing only audio; that
figure drops to five hours when playing video.

“The Sansa Fuze+ is the most
versatile portable media player available for under $100,” said Tom
Bailey, senior director, AV retail, SanDisk. “We developed an
entirely new product to provide consumers with a stylish, affordable
device that performs exactly as a sophisticated yet easy to use
player should.”

The Sansa Fuze+ is available today in
capacities of 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB with MSRPs of $79, $89, and $119
respectively (available colors include red, white, black, blue and
purple).

Running with a little clip player beats the hell out of having a cell phone with you. Besides, the little clip is so dirt cheap if it got ruined in the rain I wouldn't are much. Now if my phone got ruined in the rain...

Basically for anybody active it's nice to have a separate player. Most of America probably doesn't need one.
